Welcome

15 October 2012

I have been setting
yearly genealogy goals for the past few years. I try to assess how I am
doing every three months, but due to home improvement projects, family
commitments and a few personal health issues I haven't done this since April,
yikes! In fact, this summer was a down
time for blogging, research and genealogy education in general. My first
thought was to just forget about it, but then I thought it would be interesting
to see if I accomplished anything in the past six months. So, here goes:

Add information received from a Glover researcher to my Roots Magic software.

Completed prior to April.

Hmm, that wasn't as bad as I thought.
I guess carving out time for webinars was easier than any of the other
things on my list. My thoughts on my progress are below:

Research Goals-Incomplete, so no brownie points for me.

Education Goals-I was pleasantly surprised that I viewed as
many webinars as I did. Thank you Legacy, SCGS Jamboree 2012,
and Looking4Ancestors for
providing excellent educational opportunities which help me grow as a
genealogist. Thank you also to the excellent
webinar presenters who take their time to develop and present these.

Organization Goals-I can't take any credit for these being
completed the last six months. Luckily, I completed those before April.
If anyone saw the floor of my office right now, he/she would wonder if I
had any organizational system at all!
OK, I will share it with you; it looks like I need to get scanning! This is only part of what is in the office. I have a tub to the right of my desk and more on the other wall.

Hopefully, this
assessment will motivate me to work on completing my goals in the next two and
a half months. I hope you have a successful next couple of months with
your goals.

(P.S. Please forgive the formatting issues, I don't know if it was blogger or me, but I had a devil of a time with this post.)

Claudia, thank you for the suggestion. Since I started making genealogy goals I have tried a variety of goal setting ways. Part of my problem is I get excited about something and off I go with that line of research.
